What are your pc specs now? 200$ isnt much for a laptop so I'd cross that off the list.

$200 for a laptop will offer bitter performance, but if you want to like watch youtube or surf the internet sure. A mechanical keyboard is more of a luxury item in my opinion. You probably won't find a $200 1070. Also if your system has a R7/R9 2xx model or a GTX 7xx, I'd get a GPU upgrade. Also try G2A, because steam overprices but thats during the normal days without sale.

Seems like a pretty apples to oranges question, since I don't know your life, but the gtx 1070s are hella fine.

If your current spec's are running fine then I wouldn't bother upgrading any of that itself. If your peripherals aren't on their way out either then I'd say just save the money until you do need it. What if you spend it but a week or month later your GPU dies?

I read this and thought that it is right then I realized I still had zero idea what to do and I will probably think a lot more after thanksgiving when everything goes on sale
